M21 stuck in second

My M21 had been giving me problems shifting from 2nd to 3rd.
Now it is stuck in second and I cannot even get neutral.
Anyone got a fix?
Thanks in advance.

You have to physically get under the car to free it up. Is this something that just started?

Disconnect the rods from the trans. Manually put the levers in the trans on neutral. Put the shifter in neutral (you may have to move the levers individually) and use a 1/4" still but through the alignment hole on the levers to lock them in place. Now adjust each for correctly.

I had to think about what auto-co-wreck was. Then it came to me.

One of my faves, which get documented on the internet

Wife: do you think I am fat?
Her man enters "Noooo"

The phone "corrects" that to "Mooooo"

Auto populate can play tricks too. One of my former companies was getting ready for a big layoff. The head of HR was sending a copy of the termination agreement to an attorney named Allen. She was one of those people that was in a lot higher position than she should have ever been. It auto populated to "All" and she sent it to everybody in the company. She scrambled and tried to recall it but somebody had already opened it and it was too late. True story.
